I think my biggest problem with the Grammy's wasn't the awards (because everyone knew that Macklemore and Daft Punk was going to win a lot of them) but the forced performances that were at best bizzare.
Kendrick and Imagine Dragons was pretty good, but I feel like it was because of the high energy more than anything. But it was almost ruined by that weird non-transition straight to Kacey Musgraves (and I really like Musgraves and especially "Follow Your Arrow.") Jay-Z and Beyonce were great, of course. Taylor Swift did more with less...that's a good thing. Surprisingly, Blake Shelton didn't ruin Kris/Willie/Merle.
And P!nk, while acrobat and fun to watch, literally just repeated an earlier performance. Macklemore's marriage ceremony was forced and a stupid shtick (and the appearance of Madonna made me want to puke). That weird Metallica/Lang Lang combination was odd. They just completely cut off NIN/Dave Grohl/QOTSA because...why the hell not. Katy Perry and ACADEMY AWARD WINNING Juicy J were boring.
Everything just seemed...forced. And it makes the whole thing more boring than anything. Thank god the only competition for viewership was the Pro Bowl...or I wouldn't have watched.

Had a puncture on my front tyre yesterday, and for sure not close to my destination or close to home, but right in the middle. That has cost me 45 minutes walking back, a delay of more than 1 hour, and today 50 for a new tyre and some fixing on the wheel.
Damnit

And I'm totally going to make a move on that Italian girl...the next time.

50 euros? That sounds not too bad! I think the cheapest tyres I ever bought here in USA#! were about US$90.
Price is actually not too bad, considering that tyre + inner tube were 28 (although it could have been cheaper, Amazon tells me; rest for the work time), but it's 50 due to some sharp crap on the street, and that's somewhat unnecessary
.Oh, I have a secondary bike, bought it used from a friend who left. The back tyre also has a small puncture, and it always loses a bit of air. So I thought I'll just pump in a bit this morning, and I'd be good for the rest of the day...well...apparently either my air pump is really bad, or the puncture is more severe than I thought.
So I had 2 broken bikes this morning
.Guess I'll get the second one fixed on Saturday, or so (also needs a new saddle...damn...).

stuff has been getting bad:
1. my roommate and i have been looking for a goddamn roommate since september. it seemed that this guy was going to move in but he backed out at the last second since he thought his "room was too small" when he had been trying to effing shake me and my roommate down from $400 for rent to effing $325 (property is $1300 total... that would mean my roommate and i would pay nearly 500 effing bucks). we tried giving him an inch but he took the whole effing mile.
2. the reason we're looking for a new roommate is that the pos roommate we had bailed on us and hasn't been paying rent since he left ($2000 in back rent...). our landlord is pissed and we can't get a hold of him. moreover, he's been posting really navel-gaze-ly statuses of late when HE is the problem he's having so many bridges burnt. goddamn stupid people and their stupid navel-gazing.
ugh.

I made myself sad again...
I mean, as crappy as that situation is, you only pay $~430 per person in Charlottesville? I don't know the market, but I would have given my left nut for that price in school.
Also, how much smaller is the vacant room compared to other rooms? I mean, paying $150 less than your roommates is shaking them down but if the room sizes are significantly smaller, there should be a sizable difference.
It has given us Ana Ivanović, Maria Sharapova, Anna Kournikova and other such treasures.
You said what?
Two thousand dollars? I would charge you half that for spamming him with cat pictures until he died.

yea cville properties are really cheap.
the vacant room is a few sq feet smaller than mine but we have a huge common area which should more than make up for the smaller room.

The pull chain in my ceiling light broke this morning. Of course that left the bedroom light on. Of course this happened when I was already running behind to get to school. Of course I got home late so I couldn't properly fix it tonight. Of course flipping the breaker for the bedroom ceiling light turned off all the other ceiling lights as well...

Just realized I'm completely out of ALL of my meds. It is a much bigger rant than it should be because of the fact that ALL but one or two of them have drowsiness, fatigue, and sleepiness as a side effect, and I have about seven or eight of these prescriptions. It is only 12:48 am now.
Loooooooong and sleepless night ahead. I would know because it's happened a few times before.

For real? A pull chain in the 21st Century?
We've got those. Not on all the lights, but they're super common if you install a ceiling fan, at least.
